Talk:SpotPass

Some changes

I have the following suggestions for improvements to the page:

1. The light you are trying to refer to is the "notification LED" in all official sources (3DS instruction books, Nintendo eShop electronic instruction manual), so that is the name that should be used.
2. Rumble World info can mainly be achieved by simply copying from the StreetPass page and changing StreetPass to SpotPass, Passers-by to people on the friends list and changing the reward data.
3. The see also section does not need an equals sign after the name of the section.
4. Sleep mode downloads of software are actually done via SpotPass, but without lighting up the notification LED. See Nintendo eShop electronic manual, page seven.
5. Notifications sent to all systems need to be mentioned, as do automatic sofware downloads. Both Pokémon Shuffle and Pokémon Rumble World have been distributed via SpotPass in the PAL region.

Thanks for your suggestions, I have changed my page to match with your suggestions. And in number 3, you can instead edit the "See Also=" section to become "See Also", because that is just minor. And can I have atleast any source for Shuffle and Rumble World being distributed via SpotPass? Like for example, a news about that. --~~ThePokémonFanSince1995~~-- 09:23, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

While I can't find any sources online, they were really released this way several weeks after release. The special demo version for Pokémon OR and AS ha also been ditributed this way (I didn't realise, as I already had it and didn't pay attention to the notification. These notifications only appear if free software downloads is enabled in the SpotPass settings, and this may be region exclusive to a smaller area than I originally thought, as Wikipedia don't mention it at all, but they also don't have very much info at all on whole games (three entire games getting jut a few word in the article of a fourth game, and a seperate game getting only one paragraph in a larger aticle (while being both free and distibuted through SpotPass)), so that's not too meaningful, particularly as they don't even mention the feature that does this at all on the article on SpotPass (and StreetPass). And all they have on the Nintendo Anime Channel (also free, also available via SpotPass, and released more than a year ago) is a redlink. PartHunter (talk) 12:20, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Page creation

I can't create this page. I wanted to add the following --Squilibob (talk) 03:08, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

'''SpotPass''' (previously known as CrossPass) is a feature for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. When the 3DS is in Sleep Mode, the system can receive updates from SpotPass. When connected, special items will download automatically to the system via the SpotPass feature, even while in sleep mode. New content is shown to be available by the blue LED light on the outside of the 3DS system or a blue dot on the Home screen icon of the game. Features can be introduced via SpotPass to add new content to games like in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]].

==Pokémon X and Y==
The [[Holo Caster]], accessed in the [[Player Search System|PSS]] can be used to receive special news bulletins about events, tournaments, and receive special distributions from participating stores and event locations.

==Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire==
The PSS section of the [[PokéNav Plus|PlayNav]] continues to receive SpotPass updates without the Holo Caster.

==Pokédex 3D==
In [[Pokédex 3D]] Pokémon are distributed at random, three per day to each player while the 3DS is in sleep mode or while playing certain games. Scanning an [[AR Marker]] increases the likelihood of a pokemon appearing.

==Pokémon Rumble World==
In [[Pokémon Rumble World]] [[Mii]]s visit the player's game and may appear in the courtyard with their partner Pokémon. Poké Diamonds can also be obtained for free. One is awarded for every five visitors, and saving those visitors on adventures can sometimes earn Diamonds as well immediately after they are saved.

==Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity==
“Pelipper Island” in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]] allows the player to choose from exclusive areas as well as any dungeon previously explored. Pokémon can be obtained using the Connection Orb that wouldn’t be able to found  otherwise in the story mode by completing certain objectives.

==Pokémon Shuffle==
In [[Pokémon Shuffle]] SpotPass functionality allows for news on updates to be sent automatically to the 3DS.
